The Women’s Super League trophy will be redesigned for the 2026-27 season when the league expands to 14 teams. It is understood that the WSL and WSL2 trophies are set for a complete overhaul to bring them in line with the WSL rebrand which was introduced last summer.
The current WSL and WSL2 trophies are embossed with the old WSL and Championship logos, prompting the need for change. As a result, at the end of this season both trophies will have a smooth flat top, with the old logos removed, before new silverware is introduced next year.
Current contenders to lift the interim silverware are Manchester City, who sit eight points clear at the top of the WSL table, and Charlton, who are in a strong position in WSL2 with a six-point lead over Birmingham.
The process of designing the new trophies is already under way, with extensive consultation carried out, including with players. It is believed that there is a desire to thoughtfully create trophies that will stand the test of time and can become iconic and prestigious awards that players feel proud of lifting.
The current WSL and Championship trophies were unveiled before the 2022-23 season as part of the Football Association led rebranding of the top two divisions.
Last season, WSL Football, the body which took charge of the running of the top two leagues from the FA, unveiled a new look for the leagues, with a curved gold logo, new fonts and an orange and purple colour scheme. The logo, WSL Football said at the time, was “born from the movement of female footballers” and was developed with the creative agency Anomaly along with EA Sports.
Meanwhile, the WSL Football chief executive, Nikki Doucet, told BBC Radio 5 Live that the mission was “to build the most distinctive, competitive, and entertaining women’s football club competitions in the world”.
